It is possible to get to Kulai only by helicopter or along the winter road. In memory of the victims of Kulai, an eight-meter bow cross was erected.

Currently, historian Boris Melnikov and a group of researchers are trying to establish the names of those who died there and those who survived. “ We want to publish a Book of Memory ,” they say, “ and in Petrovka (the village closest to the former labor settlement) we plan to establish a memorial plaque with the names of all the inhabitants of the labor settlement stamped on it .”

At the site of the cemetery of special settlers, it is planned to build a base camp for oil workers of the Krapivinsky field. Omsk scientists oppose the destruction of the burial ^[2] .
